I got this week old Dark Cherry Pearl II 2012 Honda Odyssey for a new car prep. I asked the owner what he wanted done and he told me to treat it as if it were mine (i.e., use the good stuff ;) ). It was his wife's and she was most concerned with the jean transfer already showing up on the seats...

Initial Impression: Optimum No Rinse v3 Introduction: In some of my previous reviews of rinseless washes, I have implied (or maybe even typed) that ONR had been passed by the new entries into the market like Blackfire Wet Diamond Rinseless Wash, Chemical Guys Hose Free ECOwash and Duragloss...

Woohoo!! Never thought I'd get to 100 much less 1000. :autopia:

Time for another weekly installment of "what I did on Saturday". I'm sure most of you have figured out the cars are really just literary vehicles (get it? Ha, I crack myself up sometimes - JK ;) ) for mini product reviews. This week's car was a Polished Metal Metallic 2008 Acura TL...

I have mentioned before that I have a soft spot in my heart (head?) for BOGOs. With our water restrictions finally lifted, I was able to finally break out some of the deals that I'd bought over the last six months. The victim: a Monaco Blue Metallic 2006 BMW 325i. It is a daily driver of one of...

Initial Impressions: Muc-Off Split Second Detailer Wax Introduction: I haven't done a product review in a while due to the generally unfavorable detailing weather (frequent rains in the middle of our extreme drought). Having the soft spot for BOGO items and QDs, I decided to try this...

No, it wasn't a Ferrari or Lambo but it was pretty cool, none-the-less: a Sapphire Black 2006 BMW M5. The owner is a coworker & a track instructor and this car had been modded a fair bit. I was told that it did 150mph in its sleep and the fastest he's been in it was 190mph (!) and it wasn't done...

A coworker buddy of mine asked if I could remove a couple of paint transfers and generally clean up his daily driver, a black 2011 Ford Escape. The catch was I would only have 5 hours. He obviously didn't want a full correction. The time limit did hamper the pictures. You'll have to use your...

No, it's not a BMW. Over the last month or so, I've received a lot of products that required a more needy car than mine to appropriately review. Well, I got it. I've detailed this C-class MB several times and it never ceases to amaze. It was the car that started my spiral of buying ever more...

In an earlier thread, Al asked what was our biggest planned purchase. Well, I did it today - I just ordered a Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner. Am really looking forward to using it.

Still playing with the newly reformulated Blackfire line - this time the Frozen Inferno combination. Stripped the toppers off of my trusty 2011 Hyundai Sonata, applied the BF products and nearly had to go to the hospital with a serious case of WHIPLASH! Products used: CG CWC (foamed) CG CW...

Rapid Fired Volvo C70 The weather has made it tough to try out the new Blackfire line. In the middle of our extreme drought, we had a stretch of 2 weeks of nearly daily rains. A coworker volunteered his 2011 Volvo C70 last Saturday. We carefully watched the forecast and there was rain in the...

Review: Blackfire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash Introduction: Another in my on-going series of reviews of the newly reformulated Blackfire series. I debated on posting this review because Bobby, Pat and Dr Oldz have already posted theirs and there really isn't much to add. But I went ahead for...

Monday, just before I left for home, we got a quick shower. Water was still on the car but the roads were dry. I got home and decided a waterless wash was in order. Additionally, I decided to use a pump sprayer for the first time with waterless (I use one when rinseless washing.) Surprisingly...

I'll be doing a more complete review over the weekend but wanted to pass along my initial impressions of Blackfire Interior Cleaner, Interior Protectant and Leather Conditioner. If you want to read the full review, stop now and wait. I knew you couldn't. ;) Having all of the new Blackfire...

Review: Blackfire Microfiber Cleaner & Restorer Introduction: This is the next in the on-going series of reviews of the newly reformulated Blackfire line. In my only negative review (so far), CG MF Wash+, I recounted my experience with the high-end audio publications from the day. One of...

I'm planning the interior detail of my Tiburon and came up with a question. Reading the directions of the Blackfire Hi-UV Leather Conditioner and it is not recommended for perforated leather. I definitely want to use in on the non-perf parts but should I use Blackfire Micro-Engineered Interior...
